Jerald

Interim Dean-College
of Optometry
Nearly 30,000 patients were examined by students at the Optometry Clinic, said Jerald
Strictland, interim dean.
"The first two years of the four-year program
include learning basic sciences," Strictland said. "The
students begin clinic work in the spring semester of
their second year. We have to teach before they can
touch."
Nick Holderman, director of clinics and chief
of medical services, said students learn and practice
on each other during their first year.
"Our exams take a little more time because a
faculty member will reexamine a student's exam," he
said.
Susan Free was a second-year students who
worked in the Primary Care Clinic. They saw one
patient a week for half a day.
"Patients are told how long an examine will
last beforehand,"Free said. "If we don't finish an
exam, we'll leave the remaining part for another
time.'-Denise Salazar

In a special proclamation, Mayor Kathy
Whitmire named Oct. 20-26 "Texas Pharmacy
Week" in Houston.
The dean of the College of Pharmacy
Mustafa Lokhandwala said the proclamation
would allow students and professionals in the
field to inform the public on the correct use of
prescription medicines.
"Students will be counseling patients in
conjunction with registered pharmacists about
the medication they take and what the effects
are," Lokhandwala said.
The purpose of pharmacy week is to make
the public more knowledgeable about the medications and prescription drugs they use on a
daily basis. In 1990 according to a report issued
by Whitmire's office, nearly 1.6 billion prescriptions were dispensed nationwide costing Americans nearly $30 billion.-Steve Garrett
